AZSW Updates Supporting Public Education

AZ School Works (AZSW) exists to provide diverse, grassroots support for public education.  One of our primary vehicles to accomplish this goal is our School Board Recruitment Initiative.  School board members have a tremendous impact on school administrators, teachers and our children’s classrooms based upon their opinions and decisions.

Through our online community, we hope to provide motivation, cultivation, and advice for strong, public education advocates interested in running for their local school boards and supporting our local public schools.

Recently, Tiffany Troidl (Creighton School Board Member) provided advice for newly elected school board members.  Our first school board candidate, Robin Stamp, posted his profile, and received an official endorsement and contribution from AZSW.  Mark Trinitapoli offered his insight as a former educator on the importance of compensation as a critical component to teacher retention.  And, I offered my thoughts on the current economic difficulties for our school districts.

This month, we will continue to build our online conversation by soliciting input from more community members, educators, parents, and students.  In fact, as we continue to grow, supporters want to know how to get more involved.  There are several ways.  Lend your voice as a guest contributor (application here) on our website, nominate, or inform us of, school board candidates who are strong advocates for public education, host a house party, and/or make a contribution to help build our organization and provide the needed resources to accomplish our goals (donate here.)

As always, many thanks for all your support!

With hope and determination,

Jason Williams
Founder and Chairman, AZ School Works Political Action Committee
